Titles from National Center for Youth Issues:
The Ant Hill Disaster - This book by Julia Cook helps children who have been touched by tragedy, specifically one that happened to their school, find hope and the ability to face another day without fear. This can be used for school shootings, natural disasters, and other traumatizing experiences.I'm Not Scared...I'm Prepared! - We had no idea when we started six months ago to refresh this Julia Cook title that its rerelease would be so timely. This book teaches children, along with teachers and administrators, how to handle a violent intruder in a school building using the research-based concepts of ALICE in a non-fearful way.
15-Minute Focus: Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management for K-12 Schools - This book explains the interrelated factors that play a role in a person’s decision to plan and carry out an act of violence. You’ll discover why and how to establish BTAM teams and protocols, how teachers, administrators, counselors and the community can work together to mitigate troubling behavior and ensure student success, and much more.
